Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disability that professionals can
detect at increasingly younger ages. Research suggests that parents caring for children with
ASD experience significant pressure. These parents may face internal struggles alongside
managing external disruptive behaviors exhibited by their children. This study employed
a mixed method with a focus group format, incorporating a family resilience scale and an
intergenerational solidarity scale measure. Participants included grandparents and parents living with children diagnosed with ASD. The results of this study will contribute to
our understanding of how family resilience is transmitted across three generations within
families facing ASD. This research also holds the potential to provide valuable insights for
developing a theoretical framework that promotes resilience in families with ASD.
